Ep.172ValueSpelling often gets squeezed out of the literacy block, treated as a Friday list test or handed off to spell-check. In this episode, I'm joined by Sean Morrisey, fifth grade teacher, former school psychologist, and creator of The Word Mapping Project, to break down Timothy Shanahan's article on the essential fundamentals of spelling instruction. The article pulls together advice from five leading word experts: Donald Bear, Peter Bowers, Richard Gentry, Steve Graham, and Louisa Moats. Research is clear that explicit spelling instruction improves spelling, reading, and writing. Sean and I dig into what that instruction should actually look like: teaching the patterns and principles behind the words, the complexity of English spelling, the connection between spelling and meaning, and how spelling fits into daily word study and writing.PromiseBy the end of this episode, you will know what to look for in a spelling program and what to change in your current practice. You will walk away understanding why memorizing weekly word lists falls short, how to build a stronger word list that teaches a real principle (including exceptions), how to connect spelling to phonics, morphology, vocabulary, and student writing, and how to keep spelling engaging without losing rigor. Whether you are a classroom teacher, coach, or school leader choosing curriculum, you will have clear, research-based guidance you can use right away.Article discussed:https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/essential-fundamentals-of-spelling-instruction-with-a-little-help-from-my-friendsSend us Fan MailDecodify is a supplemental, structured literacy toolkit that allows for reading practice in an engaging, purposeful, and educational format.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From WV SECRETARY OF STATE – West Virginia is looking for its next generation of poll workers Want to see firsthand how an election works? West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner has a suggestion: become a poll worker. More than 8,400 poll workers are needed to help administer West Virginia's Nov. 3 General Election across more than 1,600 precincts. Poll workers help set up voting locations, verify voter information, issue ballots and secure election materials after the polls close. They're also paid for both training and Election Day service. And this year, there's something new. For the first time, eligible West Virginia high school juniors and seniors can serve as poll workers under legislation passed earlier this year. Students must be in good academic standing, receive parental or guardian consent and complete the required election training.

Helsing plans to invest an initial $50 million to establish advanced manufacturing operations in Berkeley County, creating at least 60 high-skilled, full-time jobs. The new Martinsburg facility will manufacture advanced defense systems, adding to West Virginia's growing aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing sectors. And workforce development is part of the plan. West Virginia Advance and Blue Ridge Community and Technical College will develop specialized training to prepare workers for the advanced manufacturing jobs the company needs. The investment also adds to a much bigger run of economic development announcements.

Welcome back to Progressively Incorrect. I'm your host, Zach Groshell.

Sean spent eight years as…

In this episode, host Gene Tavernetti speaks with Sean Morrissey, a fifth-grade teacher and former school psychologist, about his structured, research-based approach to vocabulary instruction. Sean shares his four-part daily lesson framework — retrieval practice, explicit instruction, fluency passages, and independent practice — explaining how pairing words, embedding spelling, and using morphology helps students deeply map new vocabulary into long-term memory. The conversation also explores how teachers can use sophisticated language naturally throughout the day to expand student word knowledge beyond formal lessons. Sean closes with practical advice for getting started, including small steps like teaching word pairs, studying common prefixes and roots, and using video reflection to continuously improve instruction.About Sean Morrisey:Sean Morrisey has quickly earned a well-deserved following for his work on effective vocabulary instruction. He is the creator of the Word Mapping Project and author of the Word Mapping curriculum. In this episode, we explore the nuts and bolts of vocabulary instruction, including how to build durable word knowledge, the role of morphology, and how vocabulary instruction supports broader literacy development.

Belfast poet, Sinéad Morrisey, was brought up in a Communist family. Hers was a childhood lived in the little world created by the party, a world apart from others and from the Troubles. It involved smoke-filled rooms, endless meetings, and dreams of a future utopia – coupled with a belief that east of the Iron Curtain, there were people already living in it. The fall of Communism in the eastern block was more than an historical event for her family – it was the end of a dream and of a way of life. Sinéad Morrisey's new memoir is called ‘Among Communists'. She joined Ciarán Dunbar to explain the book and her story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Many companies set out to do something hard. Firefly Aerospace set out to do the impossible.After 10 years and several existential moments, Firefly did what no private company ever had: in 2025, it successfully landed on the Moon. Before Firefly, only countries had ever landed on the Moon—and it took extraordinary national effort to do it. At its peak, the Apollo program consumed nearly 5% of the U.S. federal budget, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people and vast government resources. What was once only possible for superpowers is now being done by a private company. In the wake of that breakthrough, Firefly went public on the Nasdaq in the largest aerospace and defense IPO in history, reaching a valuation of roughly $8.5 billion.Welcome to Tuesdays with Morrisey. In the latest episode, host Adam Morrisey sits down with Eric Salwan, co-founder of Firefly Aerospace, to unpack the company's improbable journey—from near-collapse to becoming the first commercial company to successfully land on the Moon. Together, they discuss the Firefly journey, the new space race, and Eric's perspective on the power of pursuing the impossible.Top TakeawaysThe Firefly journey was part of Eric's spiritual path. Firefly launched in 2014, ran out of money in 2016, and shut down. Eric had invested his own money, brought in family and friends as investors, and had to lay off the entire team. On New Year's Day 2017, with no company and no clear path forward, he made the decision that he would not leave until someone physically removed him from the building. Firefly Aerospace relaunched on May 1, 2017, with 20 employees.There is power in relentlessly sharing the vision, even with people who have no immediate way to help. When Firefly needed capital at its most desperate moment, two of Eric's friends went to their networks and raised $170 million of a $175 million round. None of those investors knew Eric personally, but they trusted the people who made the introduction.People underestimate the personal cost of being a founder. Eric didn't take a real vacation for nearly eight years. Firefly shut down once, had a rocket explode on the launch pad, watched tens of millions of dollars of work burn in a field during a test fire, and had to lay off 160 people who trusted the leadership to find a way forward. The Firefly story is incredible from the outside, but the lived experience was not always glamorous.We are in the very early innings of the new space race, and the stakes are high. Eric walked through the key players, the orbital markets being created, and how competition between the U.S. and China continues to grow. His framing: when the first ships landed in America, no one could have predicted what would be built there 250 years later. Space is the next frontier.Full List of Topics CoveredEric's background and how he came to co-found Firefly Aerospace.The original founding of Firefly in 2014, the shutdown in 2016, and the decision to restart.The capital requirements of building a rocket company.NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program and how government contracts seeded the commercial space economy.The personal toll of the founder journey, including layoffs, rocket failures, and years without a real vacation.How Firefly became the first commercial company in history to successfully land on the Moon.What the lunar landing felt like in the room when it happened.How to think about the new space race and the roles of SpaceX, Rocket Lab, Firefly, and others.Big power competition and the militarization of cislunar space between the U.S. and China.Lessons Eric would share with students and young entrepreneurs.The Firefly documentary coming to Amazon Prime.Eric Salwan is an entrepreneur and new space advocate who played a foundational role in building Firefly Aerospace into a leading player in the commercial space industry. Originally an early investor, Salwan later joined the company operationally, helping guide it through bankruptcy, restructuring, and eventual public listing. Under his leadership alongside founder Tom Markusic, Firefly achieved a historic milestone as the first private company to successfully land on the Moon. His background spans IT, startup operations, and venture building, with a reputation for resilience and long-term vision in high-risk industries.

I've had several emails requesting a podcast with Gratz Vella in the wake of his thrilling third placing in the TAB Golden Slipper with Music Time. The Maltese born trainer drifted into the racing game by pure chance and has held a licence for more than three decades. He's enjoyed a notable measure of success from his Canberra base and is widely respected by all sections of the industry. Gratz secured Music Time for just $45,000 at the 2023 Inglis Classic Sale and soon discovered that he'd bought a very promising young horse for long established clients. Music Time probably cost himself a win at his first start but quickly made amends with a hat trick, culminating in the Black Opal on his home track. The Gratz Vella story is one that needs to be acknowledged on our podcast.  The trainer says he'll be pinching himself for quite a while yet. Gratz says he asked his jockey Pierre Boudvillain to ride Music Time as close as possible without overdoing it.  He explains the reason why the gelding got a little bit lost in the closing stages. The trainer acknowledges the support of six owners, some of whom have had horses with him for many years. Gratz goes back to the Inglis Classic Sale of 2023. He recalls being “blown out of the water” on a few early lots, and says his confidence had been dimmed by the time a certain All Too Hard colt came into the ring. He believes the youngster's immature appearance put a few buyers off. Gratz says the All Too Hard colt quickly signalled his talent. He was given a nickname in his first preparation. The trainer says his Golden Slipper placegetter has already developed one unlikely taste. Vella says he wasn't tempted to run him again this preparation. Gratz discusses his burgeoning partnership with French born jockey Pierre Boudvillain, currently one of the most talked about riders in the nation.  The Canberra horseman takes us back twenty years to his first Golden Slipper start with a $300.00 “pop”.  Gratz talks about his late father's arrival in Australia sixty years ago. Michael Vella found a job in Canberra and a suitable house before bringing his wife and eight children to a new land. The trainer pays tribute to his remarkable mother who died only recently at 95 years of age. Gratz Vella's business acumen was on display at an early age. He, two brothers and a handful of mates collected horse manure from a nearby pony club and carted it around the district in home made billy carts. When the concept became popular with backyard gardeners, the boys investigated bolstering supplies from Canberra racing stables. Gratz says his love affair with thoroughbreds began there and then. He says Robbie O'Sullivan was the trainer to teach him the basics of horse management and would later encourage him to take out his own licence.  Gratz says he kicked off at amateur meetings but quickly made up his mind to progress to the professional ranks. He explains the derivation of his rather curious christian name. Gratz talks of the amazing offer he received from highly successful Canberra trainer John Morrisey. He was destined to stay with Morrisey for twenty years during which time he had the opportunity to prepare a small team of his own. He says Morrisey's later move to the Gold Coast  prompted his decision to go it alone. Gratz looks back on the horses to help him along the way. He's got a story or two about a few stable favourites.  His story about the acquisition of his current stable colours is a very entertaining one. He talks of his Aussie born kids and the five grandchildren who've come along in recent years. It's a laid back chat with the kid from the historic township of Zabbar in Malta's port region. He's a highly respected and universally liked member of the Canberra training ranks and has no intention of leaving the city adopted by his father six decades ago.

Talking about the data center announcement with Chris Morris, who worked on the project for the Morrisey administration. Brad McElhinny with the latest from the capital. Chris Stirewalt talks national politics. And... STEAM RELEASE!!!

Dynasties are rare. Most teams rise, win for a season, and fade. A superstar retires. A coach leaves. The chemistry shifts. What once felt inevitable suddenly looks fragile. Sustained excellence is far harder than a single championship run — it requires standards that survive ego, systems that outlast individuals, and a culture strong enough to hold its shape under pressure. But a small handful of organizations manage to sustain excellence for decades — across generations, coaches, and changing eras. The real challenge isn't winning once; it's continuing to win as the faces change, the pressure intensifies, and expectations evolve — and understanding the kind of leadership that makes that possible.So here's the real question for leaders, founders, coaches, and executives: What creates sustained high performance—and how do you build a culture that wins not just once, but over generations?Welcome to Tuesdays with Morrisey. In the latest episode, host Adam Morrisey sits down with leadership consultant, speaker, and bestselling author James Kerr to explore what the legendary New Zealand All Blacks—and other elite teams—can teach us about leadership, identity, and legacy. Drawing from Kerr's global work across sport, business, and the military, the conversation dives into how culture is shaped, how identity becomes performance, and why the best teams think beyond the individual.Top takeaways…Success is often countercultural. Great teams and individuals stand out as a result of doing something different. Sometimes it's the simple and obvious things — showing up consistently, orienting toward service, lifting others up, or playing the long game. In the episode, James paraphrased Anna Karenina: “Dysfunctional teams are dysfunctional for all sorts of reasons; highly functional teams are highly functional for the same reasons.”The best teams — whether in sport, culture, or business — have shared identities, beliefs, and a sense of belonging. The All Blacks, for example, represent a nation and are committed to the idea that the team is bigger than the individual, captured in the players' effort to “leave the jersey better than you found it.” When you look at great teams and cultures, they usually share a common story, mission, vision, and values. James commented that “first we shape our story, and then our story shapes us.”Greatness often comes from humility and doing the little things right. The All Blacks have a practice of cleaning their own locker room after each game, known as “sweeping the sheds.” In each of our domains, there are things that seem small, but the true masters of the craft understand their importance.Meaning comes from deciding that something matters and then choosing to take responsibility for it. Whether at your job, in your fitness routine, or at home, there is a shift when you commit to a particular thing and own it. James gives the metaphor that levels of maturity and meaning are reflected in the number of keys on your keyring, representing the different things you are responsible for or looking after.Emotional regulation is leadership. This has been a consistent theme throughout the 65+ episodes of the podcast. In order to lead others, we must first lead ourselves, and in times of crisis, people often turn to the person who is the calmest. If we can't regulate ourselves, we risk repeating patterns and losing the ability to lead ourselves or others forward.Topics covered:Why the All Blacks are the most sustained high-performing team in historyCulture versus talent in elite performanceIdentity, story, and belonging in leadershipHumility and responsibility as cultural pillarsSweeping the sheds and servant leadershipThe haka as ritual, meaning, and psychological preparationCohesion as a competitive advantageSelf-regulation and calm under pressureLeadership as responsibilityCulture built through teamsContribution, meaning, and legacyLong-term thinking in sport, business, and lifeJames Kerr is an international leadership speaker, performance coach, and the bestselling author of Legacy: What the All Blacks Can Teach Us About the Business of Life.

More than half the world already lives in cities—and the UN projects that share will rise to 68% by 2050, adding roughly 2.5 billion more people to urban areas. At the same time, the “experience economy” has reshaped what people value in places: not just what a city has, but how it feels to live, work, and gather there. Against that backdrop, fast-growing metros like Dallas–Fort Worth are being forced to answer a high-stakes question: how do you scale growth without losing authenticity?So what does it actually take to build a city with a soul—one made of neighborhoods people name, remember, and choose across the seasons of their lives?On this episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, host Adam Morrisey sits down with Mike Ablon, Principal at PegasusAblon, for a wide-ranging conversation about craftsmanship, urban identity, and the long game of building places where culture and commerce reinforce each other. Together, they explore Mike's counter-cultural view of entrepreneurship, the ingredients for great cities, and how authenticity, neighborhoods, and talent migration will shape the future of American cities.Top Takeaways:Mike's path to entrepreneurship came after decades of working with great real estate developers such as Robert Venturi, and he saw starting his own firm as the best way to continue his pursuit of becoming a master craftsman. I find this to be a refreshing view on entrepreneurship as our culture has become more and more fixated on founders, and anything less than that can be seen as playing small. Mike's journey is a story of taking the long road and a focus on craft.Great cities are defined by distinctive neighborhoods, such as New York's SoHo, West Village and Meatpacking District, and by their ability to support people through different seasons of life from early career and family formation to later years.Mike places a lot of emphasis on the space between the spaces, and how walkability is more than sidewalks, it's how you feel when spending time in a particular area. People remember how a place makes them feel more than the buildings they were in or around, and they intuitively know which places are authentic versus manufactured. In the Dallas Design District, Mike implemented a “no nationals” policy so the neighborhood would be made up entirely of local stores and restaurants, preserving its creative character.The future of cities will be shaped by talent migration. The old model was that people went where the jobs were. The new model is that talent goes where it wants to live, and the jobs follow. The cities that will win over the next 100 years will be the ones that create places people actually want to be part of, with real culture, character, and a sense of belonging.Full List of Topics Covered:Mike's counter-cultural view of entrepreneurship as a byproduct of craftWhy founder identity is overrated and mastery is underratedThe role of mentorship in becoming a master craftsmanWhat actually makes a great cityWhy neighborhoods matter more than skylinesThe space between the spaces and why it defines urban lifeAuthenticity versus manufactured developmentHow Dallas evolved and what young cities can still becomeExperience economy versus ownership economyDensity, walkability, and suburban urban coresWhy talent now moves first and jobs followWhat gives a city soulBuilding places that make people feel they belongLong-term thinking in decades, not development cyclesThe responsibility of builders in shaping cultureMike Ablon is the founder of PegasusAblon, a Dallas-based real estate development firm behind the transformation of the Dallas Design District, and a former Dallas mayoral candidate. Mike has spent his life striving to “build things that matter,” focusing on places where culture and commerce intersect, through a deep commitment to craftsmanship and long-term thinking.
